    Any Scottish Brethren near Ben Lawers?

    I was wondering if any of our Scots members lived near Ben Lawers. Whilst on my honeymoon in Scotland 10 years ago, I bought a really nice stag handled Sgian Dubh from a little shop on the side of the road. Like a dumbass, I gave the SD to my Father instead of keeping it for myself.

    My wife and I were planning to go back to Scotland for our 10 year anniversary this year but real life got in the way and we could not make the trip.

    I was wondering if anyone lived locally that would be willing to drop in the shop the next time you're nearby and see if he still has a nice selection of Sgian.

    It's a little place located near the Ben Lawers hotel and Tollhouse. It's owned by a gentleman named John Lacey. I know it's still there since I found a post on another site where someone was there as of June of this year...

    If someone would be willing to peruse the shop for me, I would reward you in kind with any goods (legal) that you may be looking for from our little boring side of the pond...or cash.

    Well I might be able to make a detour that way if I go to Perth in mid-November. I can take the northern route from Rothesay rather than go through Glasgow. It's not that much longer and there is little traffic. So if you can't sort it by then, let me know.

    If this is not too far out of anyone's way I'd appreciate it. Don't know when I'll be able to get back to Scotland....
